Does poor sleep increase risk of injury in adult athletes?
Unraveling my own thoughts on this for my PhD submission in 4 weeks 😱
Clinical implications & future research recommendations below 🧵 1/13
The current evidence does NOT support poor sleep as an independent risk factor for increased risk of sport or physical training-related injuries in adult athletic populations. 😴 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3356…
I’m giving a free online talk on Exercise for Women with Migraine tomorrow Mon March 4th at 7:30pm hosted @MigraineIreland as part of International Womens Day

Sleep peeps, S&C coaches & physios interested in an objective review of Whoop for your athletes/patients…this is fantastic 👏🏼⬇️
It's out! The absolute beast of an in-depth review on the new Whoop 4.0 Band, but also the platform at large. I dive (really) deep into all aspects of the data from training to recovery, compared against nearly a dozen sensors. Dig on in (and share): dcra.in/Whoop4
